Gabriela Lima, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Gabriela!

I am passionate about helping others process and understand the life transitions and obstacles they often face. I've worked with adults by helping them navigate and process complex situations that often leave them feeling anxious, depressed, and even exhausted.

My focus

I've worked with adults who've faced complex issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, childhood trauma, and stress.

My approach

My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and person-centered. I tend to use the following modalities: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

My communication style

I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to feel validated and supported. I am easygoing and calm.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always had the heart to support others during their most vulnerable moments. Being genuine and considerate, my goal is to support my clients in processing, healing, and growing. Sometimes we don't have control over what happens, but we can gain the tools to learn to cope and move forward.

My goals for you

My approach is trauma-focused and person-centered, always keeping in mind what the client feels comfortable exploring.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll review the process, expectations, get to know one another, and set goals as appropriate.
